Which are the commercial crops to be sold for production in factories?

2nd cause: Plantation vs. Factory Economies Factory vs. Plantation in the North and South: Quote 1) "During the first half of the 19th century, economic differences between the regions also increased. By 1860 cotton was the chief crop of the South, and it represented 57 percent of all U.S. exports. The profitability of cotton, known as King Cotton, completed the South's dependence on the plantation system and its essential component, slavery. The North was by then firmly established as an industrial society. Labor was needed, but not slave labor." -Source: "Civil War, American." Microsoft Encarta Online Encyclopedia 2000 Quote 2) "Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Kirke Boott took up their residence at Lowell where there was then no building except one or two little hovels, but last night we went over very extensive cotton manufacturies that have sprung up since that time, and on every side fresh ones are starting into life. This State is so very bad for agricultural purposes that they are driven to manufactures to gain a livelihood?" -Margaret Hall, writing about Lowell, Massachusetts October 13, 1827
